Chapter 318: Chapter 318

"Yes, I’ve recognized him already, and it was President Qi who let me do so!" Mother said happily, looking at Hua Xiaomo, sensing a slight discomfort on her face when she brought up Qi Longbing.

Hua Xiaomo didn’t say anything. She thought for a moment, then looked towards the staircase with a thoughtful gleam in her eyes.

"Mother, I’m going upstairs to take a look. I’ll wait a bit before eating," Hua Xiaomo said, quickly ascending the stairs with light steps to her own room.

Everything was unchanged; her room was still bright and beautiful, and even the curtains were of the pink color she used to like.

How wonderful it felt to be back home, utterly incomparable to anywhere else, no matter how nice it is. Nothing could match the feeling of being by one’s mother’s side—a truly warm, comfortable, and indescribably pleasant sensation.

Lying in bed, Hua Xiaomo thought about many things, as if she had returned to five years ago, a time when she was truly happy.

But now, she didn’t feel unhappy or unfulfilled either; she was very happy now too!

And now, she had seen her mother, and of course, there was also a cute little baby currently in City B.

Would Mother be surprised to learn she was that baby’s mother? But the baby was indeed adorable, now five years old and looking like a little princess.

She had pledged early on to give her daughter the happiest future possible, so she worked hard to make money—lots and lots of it. But now, she could do it because the company she and her partner had opened is truly profitable!

They had finally achieved success through their own efforts and made enough money. In the days to come, she would be a good mother and a competent manager in the company.

Leading her employees, she would strive to promote their gaming software even more and aim to expand the company further. Of course, going public was just around the corner, and she believed it wouldn’t be long before their game company could be listed on the stock market.

"Hua Xiaomo, come down for dinner; it’s ready. Your brother is back too; hurry up," Mother Su Ronghua’s voice called from downstairs.

"Okay, I’ll be right there. I just need to change," Hua Xiaomo responded and opened her wardrobe. Inside, she was slightly surprised to find all her own clothes, none missing, and they all looked very new. Who would have thought that after five years, they would still be here, patiently waiting for her?

Warmth filled Hua Xiaomo’s heart as she picked out a light blue dress to wear.

Seeing her reflection in the mirror, she was amazed that her figure hadn’t changed at all. After five years and childbirth, she was still slender, and it felt as though she hadn’t gained an ounce of fat.

Soon, Hua Xiaomo quickly groomed herself, then brushed her hair. Her current appearance had matured since before, which was perfectly normal because she was now 26 years old and already a mother!

In the days to follow, she would certainly be a competent and good mother.

As she descended the stairs, she saw an unexpected sight, something she never dreamed would happen. Could she really be meeting him again? Was this a dream? It seemed impossible, but there he was, right in front of her eyes.

Qi Longbing looked up, his gaze landing on the girl in the light blue dress on the second floor, who seemed like a beautiful fairy gently approaching him.

She had imagined many scenarios for their reunion, but she never expected to see him so soon.

Perhaps ’soon’ wasn’t the right word; everything was anticipated, wasn’t it?

It turned out that ever since Hua Xiaomo’s game company’s influence spread from City B to City A, it had drawn the attention of many executives at the Qi Imperial Court. At that time, they were also considering expanding into gaming.

They decided they wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with a mature game company. But unexpectedly, the CEO they contacted from the Purple Demon Immortal Inquiry Game Company was named Hua Xiaomo? And their General Manager was Zi Yunsui?

Later on, when Qi Longbing learned of this, he contacted them and quickly confirmed a collaborative project. The real reason, of course, was to see Hua Xiaomo again?

So, this trip was partly for the cooperation between the two companies’ projects. The other important aspect was for him to see her.

Qi Longbing stared at Hua Xiaomo, not blinking, as if stunned. He didn’t expect she would really come back, that she hadn’t lied—she had truly returned.

When Hua Xiaomo saw Qi Longbing, she didn’t know what to say. Her face flushed all of a sudden, but she felt a bit awkward. She had not expected him to appear before her. Oh my, it was such a surprise.

She thought she might never have the chance to see him again, but as it happened, fate played its hand. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Xiao Mo, hurry down, President Qi is here, and so is your brother!" Su Ronghua called out to her daughter, urging her to come downstairs.

Wen Yajun stood beside Qi Longbing, chuckling softly. "President Qi, why are you so fixated on my sister? Are you that surprised? Everyone doesn’t need to be so formal; we all know each other. Let’s have a meal together!"

Qi Longbing smiled and said nothing, but his eyes softened significantly.

Zi Yunsui stood aside, also not saying a word. He felt this was a scene long foreseen. He knew that they were destined to reunite one day, and that day was today.

Zi Yunsui knew another company was about to sign a joint development project with them, and that company was the Qi Imperial Court, Qi Longbing’s company. He had considered refusing them, but after much thought, he decided he should bring them together.

Because he knew that in Hua Xiaomo’s heart, she was drawn to Qi Longbing; she had never forgotten him. Often, late at night, when Zi Yunsui considered checking if she was asleep, he would find she wasn’t. Instead, Hua Xiaomo would be sitting at the head of her bed, sighing for a spell. Later, after she had fallen soundly asleep, she would murmur Qi Longbing’s name. This had been the case since that time.
